Recommend underwater photography instructor in curacao

[sw_scuba]

I am new to underwater photography and I am going to Curacao in Nov. I would like to take the Underwater Photography Specialty and wanted to find a good underwater photography instructor. Any help would be appreciated.

All these divers and not one answer. Wow.

I would take the Underwater Photography Specialty class at my hometown, practice over and over again at a local pool till Nov. Then enjoy your vacation at Curacao having a higher skill set that you got from all that training.

If you can add a stop along the way at Grand Cayman, Cathy Church teaches UW photography there and is based at in inclusive resort with an excellent reef right off the resort. Here's a link.

I am not sure there is an UW Photo Cert course on the island. You can contact Ocean Encounters to see if they have an instructor. Curacao Padi Scuba Diving - Ocean Encounters Curacao
I have given some classes but do not do a cert course. Unfortunately I will not be on the island in Nov.

Thanks everyone. I am going to take your advice RPdiver and take the class locally and enjoy my vacation.

Curacao has never been strong on the UW photography front, as far as local pros/instructors & rental equipment. IIRC Habitat had a Stephen Frink shop many many years ago but that's long gone.

The folks at the Dive Bus list UW Photog as one of the PADI specialty courses they teach, but I don't know anything about the instructor. Personally, I am a big fan of doing class work at home, not on vacation.

We're going to be in Curacao Nov 1-11, staying at Breezes and diving with the Dive Bus.
